Those born on January 5 have a great deal of emotional resilience, possessing the ability to recover quickly from setbacks and difficult situations. They can do this because, unlike other less resilient souls, they have the remarkable ability to leave the past where it belongs—in the past. They also have an understanding that loss and disappointment are part of life’s journey, and this understanding means they are often wise beyond their years.
Their leadership qualities are strong and they are capable of great dedication and personal sacrifice. They are the resourceful, centered person to whom people turn in a crisis and they thrive on this kind of dynamic. The only danger is that January 5 people can get easily bored when there is no crisis.
Although people born on this day can bounce back from disaster, this doesn’t mean to say they are thick skinned. They can appear emotionally aloof at times but more often than not this hides a deeply sensitive and empathetic nature that is simply afraid to reveal or give of itself unconditionally. If they do open up it is only to the most trusted and valued of friends and loved ones.
Their resilient approach to life wins people born on this day many admirers, but taken to extremes it can also make them unrealistically optimistic. They need to avoid becoming so upbeat in their approach that they ignore the motives and minimize the concerns of people around them.
Although they should keep their options open and stay flexible, people born on this day are at their best when they have a plan of action. They have a tendency to avoid responsibility and commitment in their teens and twenties, but until they choose a path, they will never feel truly fulfilled. By their early forties, often somewhat sooner, they have usually learned to rein in their curiosity and their love of adventure and travel, choosing a path or a purpose that allows them to concentrate on and express their extraordinary potential for bringing out the best in other people.
☆ On the dark side：Over-confident, superficial, unreliable
☆ At your best：Powerful, expressive, spiritual
Recovery is a central and recurrent theme in the lives of January 5 people. Not ones to be kept down for very long, those born on this day have a surprising capacity for comebacks— gradual or dramatic recoveries from disadvantageous situations, either of a personal or social nature. On the personal side this may mean overcoming illness, catastrophe or just plain bad luck; on the social side regaining lost status or leading a group to restore its standing.
Needless to say, January 5 people are very resilient. They bounce back from injuries and accidents of all types. Even more impressive is their ability to recover from emotional disappointments or rejection. This is due, ultimately, to their bedrock of self-confidence and their capacity to leave the past behind and move on.
This does not mean that they are superficial individuals for whom loss has little meaning.
On the contrary, they are highly involved, committed people, and therefore the wonder is even greater that they can recover from setbacks which are doubtless deeply felt. Pan of their strength lies in an acceptance of the fact that one cannot win all of the time.
January 5 people are extremely resourceful, and know how to bring the best out in people.
This holds true in their family, social and professional life. Thus they are well suited for group endeavors, perhaps as leaders where they can better exert their positive influence.
They must be careful, however, not to be too optimistic in their outlook, and too confident that almost any difficulty can be solved through rational means. Due to their cheerfulness and positive orientation they may overlook or ignore powerful irrational and subconscious drives in their fellow human beings which can do great harm to them personally or the groups to which they belong.
Another problem for January 5 people is that they can grow complacent after they have overcome challenges and uncertainty and established stability in their lives. Some degree of relaxation is warranted and only natural but they should not give up spontaneity, creativity and spiritual growth in the process. Personal considerations often mean less and less for January 5 people as they grow older, so much do they come to identify with their cause. However, they must, when necessary, find the courage to follow the promptings of their heart, even if it means letting go of a cherished self-image or comfortable role.

Those born on the 5th day of the month are ruled by the number 5. and by the speedy planet Mercury which symbolizes quickness of thought and change. Since Saturn rules Capricorn, January 5 people come under the influence of a Mercury-Saturn connection which lends seriousness and authority to their endeavors. Whatever knocks or pitfalls those ruled by the number 5 encounter, they usually recover quickly, which is of course particularly true for those born on January 5.
The 5th card of the Major Arcana is The Hierophant. an interpreter of sacred mysteries who is symbolic of human understanding and faith. His knowledge is esoteric and he has authority over things unseen. Favorable traits conferred by this card are self-assuredness and insight; unfavorable traits include moralizing, bombast and dogmatism. Thus. January 5 people must be careful of being too pompous in their attitudes.
☆Luck maker：(Set the right level of positivity)For enthusiasm to be effective, sometimes it has to be low key; people need to feel motivated by you, not cornered or smothered.
You’re drawn to people born on August 24 to September 23：You share a love of communication and your mutual understanding can create an unbreakable bond of trust and loyalty.
People born on January 5 are attracted by intelligence and they find verbal banter extremely seductive. Understanding and communication in a relationship are of crucial importance to them. If they feel they can’t be completely open or understood they are unlikely to commit to a relationship. This isn’t to say, however, that they don’t appreciate the physical side of relationships as they have a healthy sexual appetite; it is simply that for them love, like sex, starts in the head.
Because of their emotional resilience, people born on this day recover well from injuries, illnesses and accidents. They should not, however, take their physical and emotional strength for granted; like everyone else, they need to make sure they eat well and get plenty of exercise. They need to pay particular attention to their health in midlife and beyond, when they are most likely to run the risk of neglecting their personal needs for a relationship, work or cause. To help themselves stay vibrant, and full of life, burning grapefruit, lemon-, orange- and rose-scented candles may well do the trick.
Those born on January 5 have a lot going for them healthwise because of their capacity to recover from physical and psychological setbacks. Yet this must not become a rationale for avoiding the practice of preventive health. They must remember that if they remain vigilant and detect illnesses in the early stages such maladies can be treated far more successfully. Indeed, by keeping themselves physically fit through regular exercise, eating sensibly (e.g.. limiting intake of animal fat. dairy and sugar) and getting enough sleep, they may be able to avoid many illnesses altogether. Again it is crucial that January 5 people do not become overconfident about their health and resiliency.
These people need to work in a harmonious environment and they thrive in positions in which they can be a mediator or communicator or where they are needed to put a positive spin on things. Advertising, politics and law could appeal but they may also find great satisfaction in careers that involve service or sharing feelings and experiences with others such as teaching, medicine, entertainment, counseling and psychology.
Once they have learned balance and the ability to listen sensitively to others, the life path of those born on this day is to inspire and motivate others with their resilient approach to life. Their destiny is to be the person to whom people turn in a crisis, the rock when others are floundering.
Remember to remain flexible and spontaneous. You may not have it all figured out. Do not be afraid to ask for help or guidance from others. Guard what keeps life worth living.
